Onced Saved, Always Saved

Description

Once Saved, Always Saved – Satan’s Deception of God’s Eternal Truth
Pillars of the Faith Series – Making Christianity Practical, Book 1

In this powerful opening volume of the Pillars of the Faith series, BspDr. Eric L. Douglass, Sr. tackles one of Christianity’s most debated doctrines: Once Saved, Always Saved (OSAS). Far from an abstract theological argument, this work confronts the doctrine as a matter of eternal consequence, asking whether it is a promise of grace or a deception that fosters complacency.

Grounded in Scripture, church history, and pastoral application, this book explores:

• Biblical Foundations – Paul’s assurance of salvation, the warnings of Hebrews and Peter, and the tension between grace and perseverance.

• Historical Development – From Augustine and Pelagius to Calvin, Luther, and the Protestant Reformers, tracing the doctrinal disputes that shaped OSAS.

• Theological Implications – How eternal security affects Christian ethics, holiness, and discipleship.

• Comparative Perspectives – Insights from Catholic, Protestant, and world religious views on salvation and perseverance.

• Practical Outcomes – Case studies, pastoral reflections, and the lived effects of embracing or rejecting OSAS.

• Critical Evaluation – A bold claim that OSAS, when misapplied, is a satanic deception leading believers away from vigilance and holiness.

With clarity and conviction, BspDr. Douglass offers not only a critique of OSAS but also a corrective framework for salvation—one that embraces God’s grace while calling believers to live faithfully, persevere in holiness, and honor the full counsel of Scripture.

This book is a must-read for pastors, teachers, seminary students, and believers seeking to strengthen their understanding of salvation’s assurance without falling into presumption.
